If noise levels are above 85 decibels, it can lead to gradual hearing loss. Heavy curtains on the walls and padded seat backs would help. I have seen beautiful cloths hung from ceilings at different angles or in large arches covering the ceilings in large atriums. It looks very tasteful. How about dividing the room somewhat in half with sound absorbing dividers?

I have been working in the lunch room this year and we also have a problem with noise. We were always having to get on the mic. and quite everybody down at least 3-4 times. We started giving the kids more freedom to talk for the lunch period and the last 5 minutes we ask for silence to clean up and finish eating. We also assigned 1 day of the week to each class for free seating.( we have assigned seating within each class)It has worked really well so far. Just a suggestion.

Also I like the idea of the talking light, where would I find it.
thanks sarah

I would like some input on school lunchroom noise. Is it really a problem or just a few adults who cant deal with any noise at all.

What has been your solutions? Cost?

Have you installed panels to help?

At our elemntary we have a stage in our "cafeterium" and on that stage is a table with a stop light style light. (Green, Yellow, Red) the students are told at the start of the year, if it is green they can talk, if it is yellow, they are getting to loud, and if it turns red, they have gotten to loud and no one will be allowed to speak. since they like to socialize at lunch, when it turns yellow, things quiet down a bit.

I have worked in my kids lunchroom several times. I have been a sub aide for four years. The noise can be bad if not controlled. For one if it is too noisey you can not here a student's request if he or she needs something. Another thing that seems to be more prevelant in younger children is that they have a low tolerance for noise. I've seen some of the younger ones hold their ears. I think that lunch time should be considered a social time but the noise level should be controlled. I don't get to work much anymore. I think they use a sticker chart for each classroom now. Though when I suggested that I got a terrible look, so I could be wrong. Another thing I would do was take names for those that were very rowdy. It is hard to enjoy your meal in a chaotic environment. For a lot of schools it's hard enough to enjoy cafeteria food. Ha Ha.

I recently had the opportunity to be in the school caf. during lunch. (Fundraiser time and we were counting and sorting.) The room was noisy, but not that bad. I was still able to work without a prob. Toward the end the teacher or para, not sure which began, yelling about the noise. Children were not allowed to go out to recess because they were loud. These were first graders. The looks on the "kept ins" faces was pathetic. As grown ups we often say to children, "You don't know how good you have it."
"Wait until you get to the real world." I felt bad. It put into light just how little control our children have in their world. Just my 2 cents.
